Server cpu usage drops to 0-1%, is this the condenser/pipe bug?

[ushinawa]

Launcher/pack Version: 2.1.1

Operating System: Ubuntu server 11.04 64bit

Version of Java: 1.7.7

Description of Problem: When I start the server mcmyadmin shows everything functioning normally until after 30 seconds or so the cpu usage drops to 0% and the server crashes with no errors or anything it just drops dead, I think this is condenser and pipe issue since a simple rollback fixes the issue but i would like to be certain before i bring everything back online. Thanks, Ushinawa Tamashi of FoS Studios

Error log/pastebin: N/A

MOD EDIT: You people never fucking learn.

thanks for signing your report, I would have responded totally differently if I hadn't known this was posted by ushinawa tamashi of FoS Studios.

just to be totally clear, you problem is that your server stops using any CPU time whatsoever shortly after starting? you mention it crashing, but also say there's no error so do mean it's actually crashing, or just sitting there doing nothing forever? (this would be called "hanging")

[ushinawa]

I guess it hangs as you said because it loads, runs normally, and then just sits there, it doesn't stop running or some such but rather just sits and does nothing.

lol im just used to leaving that at the end of pretty much everything i post

[freakachu]

generally, the condenser+pipe bug either crashes the server or spikes the CPU usage. it's probably map related if a rollback fixes it though. I would say if it's working now, go for it.

[ushinawa]

Hmm thats odd though since this is the secong time this has happened in as many days and as many maps. Ok well thanks

[freakachu]

I suppose you could always test it to find out. try to trigger the bug on purpose and see if it does the same thing.

Some have reported equivilant exchange causing problems like this.

Any particular part of EE that has been reported to cause such issues? Also I can easily see how EE could cause issues considering how many of its items act over large areas, though it seems that it would likely cause spikes instead of drops, but then again I have no idea.

To moderators and general users: We have stopped having Ushinawa make our posts, of any sort. That was his second attempt and he has screwed up both times now. So me and Dark will be taking over from here. Sorry about his in-ability to read rules, it's a common thing for him.

I have played on that particular server for a while and after your problems started i began searching countless forums and blogs to find a answer. After looking through some i found that some admins went through each plugin disabling and re-enabling. After doing so they found that without EE there server didn't hang.

On my server we have EE almost 100% disabled. We allow for the DM and RM weps and transmutation. Put there is no way to craft the trans circles only admins can place them, so none exist atm.

With that being said, the only part of EE that is being used is DM/RM weps and I too see random drops in CPU usage down to 1% for 10 seconds or so, just giant random lag spikes. Happens maybe 2 times a day.

Thankyou sooo much! It is wonderful to know what the cause for this problem is without having to trial and error it for hours (Our plans for tomorrow afternoon)! Thanks a ton for everyone's input on this problem!

[YukiKitty]

Hmm well this seems not to have worked, we first tried removing all but the weapons/tools from EE but we still crashed so we pulled ALL of EE and yet we still seem to be crashing so I'm no longer sure what the heck is happening. I think our server itself may be having some sort of issue.
